I bought this frame off the site earlier this year. However, as soon as it landed one of my mates 'had' to have it. He's rode it as a second bike for a couple of months, when I then decided I needed to have it back. Within a couple of hours it was rebuild using the parts from my Genesis.

I don't think the spec is has transferred over too badly. Probably going to change the stem for a 70mm one and longer term look to fit some Elixir's or XT brakes, but for the time being it should do the job.

Will have to weigh it. It doesn't feel too light to me, but I'm used to a sub 20lb road bike so probably isn't that bad. Would hope for 25lb ish. Some White SID's would help lower the weight and improve the looks....

Just secured a set of Fox F90 forks for the Stumpy. This should lighten up the front end a little whilst also dropping the height a little. Can always up the travel to 100mm if needed but think it'll suit 90mm better. They're also Black so should suit the bike nicely.

nice bike. had one of these myself, your right they are quite harsh, its the wishbone seatstays. had the model before this one as well with the conventional stays and have to say i prefered that one. it was a bit lighter as well if i remember right. nice though.

Saddle and seatpost change now. Specialized seatpost that was fitted weighed 400g. Just ordered a Raceface RIDE seatpost that weighs 295g. Will match the bars too. Also ditching the saddle and looking for a Specialized Phenom or Riva in Black. Again should save a few grams.
